Re: Old Webers vs new Webers

[MMosko@domain.elided]

Help! I'm doing a serious restoration on a '65 Guilia Spider Veloce. The two 
old Webers need rebuilding. I've been quoted a low of $250 to as high as $660 
by local carburator shops for rebuilding the set. On the other hand I can buy 
a new set of 40 DCOE Webers in Europe ( I go there frequently on business) 
for $550. 

I've been told by one expert that the old Webers work better than new ones 
and that I should rebuild rather than buy new. Also, that the old ones are 
"correct" and it could make a difference in concours judging. Although I 
expect to show the car, my main purpose in the restoration is to enjoy the 
driving.

I'd appreciate hearing some pros and cons... Thanks!
